HAUSERMANN, Max Wilhelm of Ft. Worth, TX (Formerly of Kalamazoo, MI)
Passed away early Tuesday morning, December 17, 2019, in Fort Worth Texas with his son Dale at his side. He was born on March 24, 1935, in Kalamazoo, the son of Max and Dortha (Wilson) Hausermann. A 1953 graduate of Kalamazoo Central High School and Western Michigan College. On May 20, 1956, he was united in marriage to Dorothy “Ann” Buist. Shortly after their marriage, he pursued a career in the electrical trades. He was a respected member of IBEW Local 131, retiring in 1997, after 41 years of service to others and his community. Max raised 4 children (Mark, Debi, Dale, and Dan) and was a foster father to more than 40 infants.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Max achieved the level of 32nd-degree Mason. He was an active member of Parchment United Methodist Church, singing in the choir and serving on the board of trustees, and was instrumental in leading many maintenance projects. Max volunteered at the food pantry and loved working with people in need. He was only a call away when anyone needed help and he was quick to provide knowledge on how to fix almost anything he worked on. Max loved to fish, and instilled in his family a love for the outdoors and camping. His strong faith in God and his love for his family were his two greatest priorities, and he lived them out daily.
Preceding him in death was his loving wife of 62 years, Ann on May 8, 2018; a son Mark Hausermann on September 30, 2008.
